In fact this is a plea to, perhaps, Ken Arnold for help with the version of rogue that was kindly sent to us. I'm sorry Ken (and whoever else may be offended), I lost your address. The major problems are: 1. At times (most of the time but not all), when one tries to save a game, the program prompts if the save file is to be that specified by the ROGUEOPTS or whatever. Upon responding with a 'Y', the program then goes into an infinite loop of prompting for the name of the save file desired. That is, the game can not be saved. In fact, if this is happen- ing, it is also impossible to escape to the shell. Upon, 'ESC'-ing out of the loop described above and typing a '!', the (Press return to continue) message immediately pops up at the bottom of the screen. 2. For the most part, it is impossible to get one's score on the score board. The program tells you the scorefile is locked and do you want to wait. Well, of course you do but the program never returns after your affirmative has been entered.
